The Deckhouse is situated at the edge of Bartholomeus Klip’s lake-sized farm dam, a short stroll away from the main house.  It makes an ideal escape for quiet reading or birdwatching, or drinking in the spectacular view of the backdrop of mountains mirrored in the vast sheet of water.

Facilities for trout fishing, as well as windsurfing and canoeing, are available for guests to use on the water.  An evening stroll along the dam wall is very popular, especially when followed by sundowners on the deck.

As well as being an amenity for guests at Bartholomeus Klip, the Deckhouse is much in demand for intimate weddings and conferences.  We offer several different packages, available on application, for these. Our experienced staff  take great pleasure in organising these events and meeting the challenges of special requests  – just ask us and see what we can do.

Cocktail parties and year-end functions for around 30 people can also be arranged to suit individual requirements.

The Deckhouse is perfect for a small functions - please see our conference venue and wedding venue section for more information.
